Silly question time. Will this really work with the PAL version of Brawl. The exploit it uses to load the stuff (Smash Stack) only works with US copies.

 

[∀ Narayan]

I may just pick up a copy of Brawl for this.

Hahahaha this is just insane
Surely this is black magic

Holy shit!

 

[viewtiful_dru]

Definitely trying this out.

Hopefully it won't turn lame like B+ did.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

What is wrong with Balanced Brawl? Is there really an obsession to change Brawl back into Melee so you can play with the "new" characters and "levels"? I get that some of Brawl's stuff was stupid even to non-competitive players (tripping, etc), but this seems like it's borderline obsession.

Why call it an obsession? The modders want to do it, they can do it, some people want to play the resulting game and that's reason enough.

Some people really act like there's some unwritten rule that this shouldn't exist. :/

Seriously, it will never be as awesome or fun as this:

or this (the character matchup, not the level since it's in Project M)

Those aren't tied to Balanced Brawl, nothing would keep you from adding that to PM or any other Brawl mod if you chose to do so.

On a side note, you should have linked to a Zero video if you really wanted to showcase creativity in Brawl hacking. That character actually has his own moveset.

Unfortunately, I don't believe the current demo will work on PAL copies of Brawl. I think the Project M team plans to release the demo for PAL versions but all of the codes will need to be converted so I don't know when that will happen. There will be a PAL version of the full game, but I don't know if it'll be released day and date with the NTSC version. If you have an NTSC copy of Brawl you can play it on an PAL Wii using Gecko OS though.

If all players involved have Project M, can it be played online?

 

[Holy Order Sol]

It can, don't expect great things from the netcode though.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

It can, don't expect great things from the netcode though.

Will it be worse than usual games? I've had no problems when playing with certain people.

 

[TreIII]

Will it be worse than usual games? I've had no problems when playing with certain people.

The main is making sure EVERYBODY involved has the same hook-up. The less you give the game's silly netcode a reason to rage quit over even the most innane thing that could cause it to desynch, the better.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

This is like JAPAN TIME all over again. XD

 

[Chavelo]

Holy shit... Just found out about this...

This just got me hyped. BIG TIME.

 

[Fantastical]

That's really cool! I actually heard of this news yesterday. I wish I had my Wii in my dorm so I could try this out.

 

[hoverboarder]

Can I install this to work with Configurable USB Loader and the Homebrew Channel?

Basically, how does this fit in with the NeoGAF tutorial wikidot?

 

[DDayton]

I should try this today, just to see how it is.

The only real reason I'd have for it would be the new stages... in theory, it should be possible to enable just those stages and not the rest of the hackery.

 

[MNC]

Okay, I'm not normally fan of brawl hacking because all it did was whiiiiine about how bad brawl was and people not happy with characters and it spawned horrendous skins.

However, this seems really worthwhile, lots of effort, plus the fact it can be run from just an SD card without modding is REALLY cool. I'll try this out in the near future.

 

[DDayton]

Wait -- I thought the download was supposed to be up right now?

 

[Version 3.0]

Wow, very cool. I'm excited! Brawl was the biggest let-down in videogame history (IMO, of course), but it's always seemed like all the pieces were there for it to be great. If it can be fixed, I'll be thrilled.

 

[Monocle]

Wow, this might actually make me dust off my Wii. Good stuff.

 

[Anth0ny]

Wait -- I thought the download was supposed to be up right now?

They're applying finishing touches right now. Should be up within an hour or two.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Oh I thought this was official, not a fan-made mod.

Still looks interesting though.

 

[mugwhump]

Yup, that's how I've been doing it forever. Just choose 'enable ocarina codes' and run it.

Damn son

dat TvC stage

 

[WillyFive]

It's not here yet.

Was it delayed?

I thought this wasn't supposed to be like Brawl.

 

[Dash Kappei]

So, Project M will only work in 4:3?
Ugh, hope that isn't true or I'm out

 

[mugwhump]

Demo up!

Edit: no it's not, they're fucking with us some more.
SAKURAAIIIIIIIII

 

[Holy Order Sol]

SAKURAAIIIIIIIII

lol

Reliving this brings back good memories.

Don't you miss Japan time? You stonecold bastard

 

[WillyFive]

Don't you miss Japan time? You stonecold bastard

I wasn't around for that. I just read it in the morning, because it was faster.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

HYPE

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Demo installer is up!

 

[Anth0ny]

OMG IT'S OUT

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE

 

[Parham]

Edit:

Okay, so the server crashed within 15 seconds. The installer downloads the files off the server, so it won't do any good to download it until the server is stabilized.

Hang tight guys.

Hopefully they release the ZIP files soon.

EDIT: Looks like it's working now. Finished installing and I'm playing now. It's fucking fantastic.

 

[MiniDitka]

Can someone tell me where I'm supposed to put this on my SD card? Can it go anywhere or is it supposed to go in a folder(using the hackless Wii)

 

[Anth0ny]

The root of your SD card.

 

[udivision]

So... can we use more than the 14 listed characters? It's just they haven't been "redone" yet, right?

 

[MiniDitka]

The root of your SD card.

Sorry for being computer illiterate but what is the root of an SD card?

 

[Barrow Roll]

So... can we use more than the 14 listed characters? It's just they haven't been "redone" yet, right?

Unfortunately, no. The Project M team doesn't deem them presentable right now whereas the characters included in the demo are pretty much considered finished barring any breakthrough developments that require adjustments to them.

Sorry for being computer illiterate but what is the root of an SD card?

Basically like E:, or F: or whatever your SD card is.

Anyway, installing the demo and it said it was done but I just ended up getting vBrawl with L-Canceling and Wavedashing. I guess it only partially downloaded and now I'm getting 503 timed out error. I'll try again in a bit.

 

[dragonlife]

Huh. Interesting...

I like things that don't take much effort.

 

[DDayton]

EDIT: Looks like it's working now. Finished installing and I'm playing now. It's fucking fantastic.

... I'm starting to get suspicious. That might be because all I get is a 91KB installer file that pops up "can't be run in DOS mode" and ends whenever I try to run it.

 

[Hyunkel6]

That might be because all I get is a 91KB installer file that pops up "can't be run in DOS mode" and ends whenever I try to run it.

Same here. I'm guessing it only partially downloaded because of the high amount of traffic on the server. I'll try again tomorrow.

 

[DDayton]

I'm confused what the point was of releasing an exe installer -instead- of a ZIP archive. I can't see how that's any better for the server...

Perhaps someone could mirror the download...

Thanks. Gave it a try but it didn't work : (

 

[Barrow Roll]

Yeah I would hold off on trying to install it for now. Looks like the servers are overloaded right now. I just tried installing it again and although I was able to connect I'm still only getting a partial download.

What's the file size of the installer you downloaded?

 

[Barrow Roll]

What's the file size of the installer you downloaded?

90.4KB.

Also I just realized that the only thing that the installer downloaded was the Sonic team color textures and the custom songs. The Wavedashing and L-canceling was from a .gct that I already had on my SD card.

They have a chat channel set up here:
http://bit.ly/ihSFfu

Although it seems like only mods can chat right now. They just said they're still working on fixing all of this so I guess we gotta sit tight a bit longer.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

I think it's working as it should for me. 90.4KB seems to be the proper filesize and the install went without problems.

Zelda's Din's Fire is amazing, it's like Testament found his way into Smash lol.

 

[MiniDitka]

What's the file size of the installer you downloaded?

The file I downloaded was 90.1 kb.

See, I'm still confused, as I'm not getting download errors -- I'm getting "This program can not be executed in DOS mode" errors...
